...Your version of Alcools is enshrined in my mind-Guy Apollinaire is one of my hidden sources and you have done him as well as he can be done
-Letter from David Dwyer to William Meredith, March 20, 1976
My aim has been to give the poems a natural and individual voice comparable to the remarkable one they have in French.
-William Meredith, in his introduction.
Selected with an introduction and notes by Mackie L. Jarrell and William Meredith. General Editor Richard Wilbur; Laurel Poetry Series
Dell Publishing Co, New York, 1968
The pronounced personality and eccentricity of the poems in this book are characteristic of the century, or at least its best representatives....If the editors can trust their own enthusiasms, not only the hymns and fables but all the poems within this volume still and perhaps permanently shine with the experience and the language of the eighteenth century.
-Richard Wilbur, in his introduction.
Selected, with an introduction and notes by William Meredith. General Editor Richard Wilbur; the Laurel Poetry Series

In the end good poetry tends to be compatible with all other good poetry. I will not hazard Shelley's fortunes...with unsubstantiated claims, but prefer to dare anyone who thinks him an overrated poet to look within.
-William Meredith, in his Introduction
